Chapter 415 Is It Not Possible?
Sensing the change in his body, Howard quickly released Evella and hurriedly got off the bed to straighten his clothes.
He was secretly annoyed; he had been single for too long and couldn't withstand any temptation!
As he got off her, Evella blinked and sat up from the bed, adjusting her clothes as well.
Thinking of something, she muttered to herself as she watched Howard's back.
"Even if I drank too much, if you were a gentleman, you would've called my family to come pick me up."
She was a little confused, wondering why Nora didn't come looking for her when she was missing last night.
Hearing this, Howard immediately looked frustrated.
He turned to her and said, "Do you think I didn't do that? I told Nora that you drank too much. She asked me to take care of you first, and then she'd come pick you up after finishing her dinner with Aaron. But I waited for a long time, and they never came."
He realized that she had probably tricked him.
Nora must've intentionally not come!
Hearing his words, Evella checked her body condition again.
There seemed to be nothing wrong except for a slight pain in her lower abdomen; everything else was normal.
Howard probably didn't do anything to her last night.
She cleared her throat and said, "If what you said is true, then I forgive you."
Did she forgive him?
Howard found it a bit amusing and retorted, "You forgive me? Although you dirtied my clothes, I overlooked that and helped bring you back to a hotel. Despite that, it's still my fault?"
Evella felt a little guilty.
She licked her red lips and said, "Anyway, you saw me completely naked, so it's even. Well, I'll leave now."
Although he didn't do anything to her, they did sleep on the same bed.
Moreover, she was practically naked.
Who knew if he took advantage of her?
She felt a bit uncomfortable and turned to leave.
"Wait," Howard called her back.
She paused and turned around, hugging her arms and looking at him cautiously.
"What else do you want?" she asked.
She looked like she was being wary of a pervert, making Howard feel both angry and amused.
"Do you think I'd do anything? Evella, if I wanted to have you, I wouldn't wait till now, no?"
Evella pouted, "Who knows if you suddenly got an animalistic urge?"
Howard chuckled lightly and handed her a tube of ointment.
"Relax. We slept on the same bed last night without doing anything, so you should understand I'm not interested in your flat figure! Anyway, this ointment is good for your wounds; remember to apply it every night."
Not only did he see her naked, but he also criticized her figure!
Evella was so angry that her face turned red, throwing the ointment back at him.
"Who wants your ointment?! Howard, can you even say that? We were alone in one bed, but you didn't even react. Are you impotent or something?"
"You..."
"Howard, being a doctor yourself, you should know some well-known urologists. Hurry up and make an appointment with one! If you're struggling in 'that' department, your future days will be lacking a lot of fun!" she didn't give him a chance to refute and ranted before running off.
He was left speechless and stunned.
After a moment, he burst into laughter.
He had brought this upon himself, helping someone and getting worked up over it!
To think she said he wasn't good enough!
If only he had known last night...
He quickly stopped his train of thought.
He mustn't get carried away; he was a gentleman!
He wouldn't take advantage of a vulnerable person.
Evella left the hotel, taking a taxi back to the Remington family's residence.
At that moment, she had no money on her and didn't bring her cell phone.
So after reaching her destination, she could only ask the driver to wait in the car for a while.
When she pressed the doorbell, she had the servant pay for the fare.
The servant was surprised but still complied.
She wrapped her clothes tightly and entered the house, finding her older brother and grandmother sitting in the living room.
She felt a little guilty but greeted them with an awkward smile.
"Grandmother, Archer."
Mrs. Remington Senior had silver hair, but her elegance and luxury remained.
She smiled sweetly and asked, "Evella, you didn't return last night. Where were you?"
Evella's eyes flickered as she lied, "I-I stayed at Nora's house last night."
Mrs. Remington Senior still smiled lovingly, "Really? But how come I heard that the Hamiltons' boy took you to a hotel overnight?"
Evella choked, her eyes darting around.
Oh no, who told Grandmother?
Could it be Nora?
She was so untrustworthy!
She trusted her so much; how could she betray her like this?
Of course, in reality, it wasn't Nora who revealed last night's events, but Aaron.
"Howard went too far this time. Evella, since he spent the night with you, he must take responsibility." Archer spoke up.
He wanted to hold Howard accountable!
Evella quickly waved her hand, "No, no, Archer, Grandmother, nothing happened between us last night!"
Archer raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mrs. Remington Senior.
Mrs. Remington Senior inquired, "Evella, you stayed overnight with Howard at a hotel last night, but you didn't do anything. What, did you sleep and chat under the covers? Is he impotent?"
Evella hesitated, then mumbled in response.
"Well, I'm running late for school, so I'll go upstairs to get ready first."
After that, she hurriedly ran upstairs.
As her figure disappeared, Mrs. Remington Senior's eyebrows furrowed.
"Archer, could Howard really be impotent? Quickly go and find out for me. If he isn't, then forget it. He's so good-looking, so how could he be impotent?"
Archer smiled and replied, "No, Howard's character is something I understand. He should be a good man, which is why he didn't touch Evella."
Hearing this, she brightened up and asked, "Is that so? Then, quickly go and investigate. If he's physically fine, have him take responsibility for Evella."
"Alright." he agreed.
Evella returned to her room and leaned against the door, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Her grandmother had always wanted her to marry Howard. Still, she made her think Howard was impotent now, so perhaps she wouldn't push for the two families to unite anymore.
Evella freshened up before asking a servant to bring her the phone so she could call Nora.
She was really upset with Nora; she had to find out why she didn't come to pick her up last night.
The phone rang a few times before being picked up.
"Hello?"
"Nora, how could you just leave me with someone else last night?"
As she said that, her tone was full of resentment.
Nora's faint laughter came through the line, tinged with drowsiness.
"I'm so sorry. I originally planned to take you away last night, but I drank too much and forgot. So, are you at home now or still there?"
